I agree.

It is so beautiful. I’ve been many times, but I still walk each hole on some of my visits.
The course is the star. The elevation changes and the green contours are incredible.

I’d go to Berckman’s IF I was invited, but I would not pay up for the experience. Most years I’ve gone for free or at most face value. At this point, I’ve seen the course many times. They do some changes each year. Most are subtle, but a few years ago they pushed hole 5 from like 445 to 500 yards and got the tee away from 4 green. I guess they may bump 13 tee back some in the future. They planted a bunch of full green trees on 9 and 11 years ago. The first time I went 7 was less than 400 yards, now the tee is a hike from 6 green. The par 3s seem to change the least over the years, and yet they are challenging to the field.
